“Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.” Here is a Wordle for the United Country Blog!

Welcome to 2012, everyone! A new year always brings new opportunities, and 2012 is no exception. As United Country President Mike Duffy recently posted on Facebook, “This year is going to be THE transition year!” Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “transition” as an “evolution from one form, stage, or style to another.”  Whether it is a United Country family member using a company program they hadn’t leveraged before to expand their business or a homeowner deciding it’s time to move out of the big city to greener pastures, people are always look to innovative and creative ways to transition into a better situation. How do you plan to evolve this year? Let us know!

In 1928, United Country changed the real estate marketing landscape by introducing the first real estate catalog. In the 80 years since, we’ve found a few other ways to communicate with brokers, agents, buyers and sellers.

From catalogs to magazines to brochures to web sites, we’re constantly looking for new ways to hold conversations about real estate, auctions, lifestyle properties and more, and social media is just one more way to do that.

The social media explosion over the last few years has broken down so many communication barriers, allowing people to communicate regardless of geography – the very thing our founder, Roscoe Chamberlain, had in mind when he printed that first catalog nearly a century ago.

Our vision for this blog is that it will allow us to share the things we think are most important with you – industry and market information, company announcements, videos, helpful hints and more – as well as get input from you about your real estate experiences.
